Art Style

General
I feel so accomplished. \o/ I feel as if I finally have a fully developed method for my art now, giving it its own style.
Sketch and pen the drawing on paper first, scan it in and fix it up some, set it to multiply, apply grayscale shading underneath, add a gradient map to give it the base color, then copy-paste the initial gray shading with an alpha map for secondary colors, adding a clipped gradient map for each one, then finally add the detail colors, copy paste the gray-shading again over everything, set to multiply, adjust levels so it's lighter, blur it, add in some final overlay layer details, apply image to a blank layer, blur it, lower opacity and erase portions to add a bloom effect, with more blurring in further perspectives and less in closer ones, draw up the background, and profit.
Yeah, no one probably cares. \o/ But I'm happy.

I usually do art using only traditional methods, but i hope to save up some money and get a tablet for my computer someday soon.
It must feel good to have a more "finalized" style that will probably be consistent with future pieces ^^... i still have lots of work to do before i feel accomplished though...
